What Folks are Saying about Pistol Jo’s Cherry Point BBQ

Google Review

Among the many Google Reviews, reviewer Diane Pitino made a trip back to Pistol Jo’s Cherry Point BBQand found it “plentiful and tasty:”

Had my second visit to Cherry Point BBQ today and tried the ribs.

They are currently served on Thursdays and Fridays as of 6/25/20. They were absolutely delicious! Served as individual ribs, they have a fantastic dry rub and come served with a choice of sauces.

The only drawback was that they didn’t come with sides, but the taste… oh, the taste of these! If you’re in the mood for meat and meat only, go with the ribs.

I also picked up a pulled pork plate with baked beans and Mac and cheese. The portions are plentiful and tasty. (The last trip I tried the green beans – great seasonally fresh taste!)

The banana pudding’s in the refrigerator waiting for later, but the one lick I tried tells me it’s not going to last long!

Definitely have a meal at this place if you’re in the mood for everything homemade. Absolutely delicious!

Yelp Review

Over on Yelp, CJ, a local from nearby Bluffton, found the folks at Pistol Jo’s Cherry Point BBQ friendly and the food yummy:

Delicious BBQ, super clean atmosphere, and great service!

I ordered the pulled chicken with fried okra, and my husband had the pulled chicken sandwich with potato salad and mac and cheese… all of the options were homemade and so good!

The meat was tender and juicy… and most importantly – it was perfectly smoked (not overly smoky). Definitely recommend!!

And then there was the sauce! Omg.. so yummy!

We tried the sweet cherry, the vinegar, and the tangy southern- all three made in-house and absolutely delicious!

Also, what is real BBQ without something pickled?

The meals were served with really, really, really good pickles and the best pickled onions! I love pickled food, so the onions were a perfect pair for the BBQ! (My husband hates pickles and refused to try them… more for me!)

Also, want to add it was the end of the day (almost 8 pm on Saturday), they were about to close and they still invited everyone who stopped by to come in and eat!

They were super friendly and inviting to all of the customers, accommodating all requests and making sure everyone had a great meal.

Great job guys! We will definitely be back and spread the word to all our local Bluffton friends!!
